Only 6 days to decide on a my boy's name!

[Noleen]

Please help. I've been through them all and am now at

Nathan or Ethan

Which one do you prefer?

Ethan, for my vote

Ethan.

Ethan, but really like both.

My vote is for Ethan, but do like both

Ethan. Unless I know you in real life! I must be due about the same time as you are and it's top of my list.

I prefer Nathan - only because I know the most hateful child called ethan and that puts me off.

Another vote for Ethan

Thanks, do you think it can be shortened by people though? I know Nathan can become Nate, would Ethan be shortened to ET?

I dont know any Ethan's that are shortened, but that doesnt mean they are not. Ethan was always going to be the the name for our son due in October untill we both just decided we no longer wanted it. We still love the name though!!

I prefer Ethan to Nathan but I prefer Nathanial to both of them, I love Nate as a nn, but just not Nathan.

Ethan

Nathan with nn Nat

I know an Ethan and I shorten his name to literally 'E' =D.

I like both, but Ethan would be my favourite, but not sure about a shortening of it, as if I had had it I wouldn't want it shortened (out of my 3 children we only have 1 name that can be shortened and we do not shorten it at all).

Ethan. Or Nathaniel. (But I am currently trying to evict a piss-taking lodger called Nathan so I'm very biased!)

But I would have said that anyway, honest! My good friend had an Ethan, it's a lovely, beautiful name. Nathan sounds like a teenager or adult to me. It's a much harder sounding name IMO and nothing special really. (Sorry to any Nathans!) I like Nate but as others have said what about Nathaniel if you're really keen on Nate?

ethan is gorgeous i love it and would probably be naming DS it if it wasnt for OH mentioning mission impossible. he refused point blank because of tom cruise!

As in 6 days before he's born, or 6 days short of 6 week registration timescale? If the former, relax!
